Beverly Osu has replied to critics of her recent pictures where she poses as a nun.

In some of the pictures, she wears a nun outfit and holds a cigarette in her hand.

According to her, the church has not established smoking as a sin and advises critics to focus on other important issues.

In countries such as Russia, people who use religious memes could face up to five years in prison.

She wrote;

“I was born a practicing Catholic so I know and take ur faith seriously. People should rather worry and pray for the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims that are rapped and abused by priests all over the world particularly over 1000 victims raped by 300 priests in Pennsylvania than worry over a photo that is a mere work of art.
